Will it be able to take 12V? I was planning to get a G3 with a A19 assembly and adding a P91 drop in. Meaning for 4 CR123's. Is it ok?
NO
*Anything over ~7.5-8V will pop a P91*
------------------------
To use 4xCR123s you have 3 bulb options:
1. Add a KT1/2 kit, but instead of the included bulb options, use a MN60.
2. Same as "1" but with an MN61.
3. Use a "G&P 12V" D26 compatible lamp assembly. You can find them on ebay and various other places. The output on the "12V" D26 lamps on 4xCR123 out there is similar to the P91 on 3xCR123s, but will run for more than twice as long since the cells are under less stress.
-------------------------------
Better yet. Pick up a pair of AW protected 17670s and use those in your G3+A19 and then you can run the P91 on rechargeable cells. Get a Pila IBC charger to go with the cells.

Zenith, all your answers are most likely in Mdocod's exhaustive thread on incans and batteries linked to in his sig and at the top of this post. It really is excellent and will probably save you hours of experimentation, posting and waiting for replies.
